Testimony Time

[Andrew]

My husband and i have been through alot this past 2 years concerning transportation. 2 years ago I rolled my van on icy roads on the interstate, walked away with not even a scratch but the van was totaled. Then almost exactly 1 year later i was rear ended by a fully loaded semi going about 50 miles an hour. This time the van was again totaled and i was pretty beat up. But, my injuries could have been a lot worse. 6 months after that my husband totaled his truck. By now you can see where the insurance company is getting very cautious with us. They jacked are rates way up and told us to be very careful. Not fair, since none of these accidents were our fault. Well tonight my husband was rear-ended again, HARD! The driver of the other car immediately got out and came to my husband. He barely spoke english. He just kept repeating, so sorry, no drivers license, no insurance. As my husband looked around he could see that the other drivers front end was all smashed and undrivable but when he walked around back, expecting to see a lot of damage, his car was untouched except for a small scratch in the bumper. He could not believe it. He gave God all the Glory all the way home!!!!!!!!!!! (of course after seeing that the other driver got a ride to where he needed to go)

Hey Erin-Joy,

I dont believe these to be just coincidences. I believe the devil is up to something here, after all, he comes to steal kill and destroy.

Have you heard Sister Billye Brim preach? She's an expert on the Blood protection, and uses the blood covering and protection for almost everything, including her car, children, luggage etc. The Lord has even used her in dangerous places like Soviet Union where she's been chased by KGB etc b4.

She works for the late Kenneth Hagin and is the one who turns his sermons into books. She preached in my church last week and spoke on the blood of Christ to protect. I cant emphasise enough the importance of applying the blood everyday.

Apply the blood everyday and everytime you get into your car. I try to do that every morning when I take communion with my wife b4 rushing off to work.

 

[look]

I like Sister Billye Brim, she knows what she is talking about!!!

I don't know that I've ever heard of Sister Billye Brim. She sounds like my kinda lady.

I led worship again this morning at my friends church and it went really well. God always shows up when we enter into worship.

Here is a page of my miracle from my website.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MEDICAL DATA[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My name is Hal Weeks. I discovered I had cancer when I was fifty-eight years old. The prognosis was a thirty-five percent chance of survival for five years. But God had other plans. I am now ninety. This is the story of this miracle which occurred without any medical intervention other than diagnosis. [/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Although It was treated with cobalt for a period of twenty-one days, as it turned out, it did not heal me. . As time went on I discovered several nodes in my neck and under my right armpit that seemed to be growing. In August, 1977, at the age of sixty-four, a large node was removed from my right armpit. It was diagnosed as a poorly differentiated nodular lymphoma. I was then referred to an oncologist for treatment. However, he agreed to defer any treatment on the basis of my belief that I had been divinely healed. I was scheduled to return in three months. When I returned, he could find no evidence of the cancer. He said, "If I were examining you for the first time, I would have diagnosed you as not having the disease." I I continued having periodic checkups until August, 1982, at age 69, at which time he transferred me back to my family doctor. Then in 1995 I discovered two large lumps over the right collarbone. It was determined to be lymphoma that had apparently returned. I did not have a biopsy since I did not plan to have medical intervention and the surgeon said there would therefore be no point in it. Again, I turned it over to the Lord. After six months during which time the tumors increased in size and number, I began to have second thoughts about medical treatment. As clear as I have ever heard the Lord speak, He said "I thought you had turned it over to me." I repented of my concerns and again trusted God for a healing. It stopped getting worse for two months, at which time the Lord said it would be gone in three months and it was. Since then I have had many other conditions healed, again without medical intervention. There has been no further reoccurrence of the cancer.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This not to say we should not seek medical help. I have and do use the resources of medical science.
[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SPIRITUAL COROLLARY
Having always believed in prayer, I had been asking God to heal me all during the course of this disease. However, since I had not revealed my condition to more than a couple of friends, I had not received much -- if any -- general prayer. For several years, I did believe I had been healed and I did receive what the doctors called a marvelous remission. But with the recurrence in August, 1977, and a diagnosis that the condition was now more advance, I became deeply troubled. At that time, a friend of mine invited me to attend a Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship dinner. Their emotional behavior turned me off so I decided to "lay a fleece" before the Lord. I said, "Lord, if this is something you want me to get involved in, heal my back." (I had a back problem that was causing me pain at the time) Immediately the pain left and my back was healed. I now believe this was the deciding factor in my seeking the experience known in charismatic and Pentecostal circles as[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]the baptism in the Holy Spirit. I was prayed for to receive this at a Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship meeting on August 18, 1977, at the age of 64. Nothing seemed to happen at the time, but I was assured I had received this baptism and I thanked God for His gift. At about 10:30 the following Saturday evening, while in bed reading some charismatic testimonies and reflecting on them, my attention was drawn to a strange tingling sensation in my right arm. This subsided but shortly I noticed the same sensation on the side of my face. As I began to rub my face and neck, I felt a sort of electrifying of my right arm. I remember exclaiming, "Lord, your hand is holding my hand." Immediately, waves of an indescribable sense of the power of God began to sweep through my entire body. I have had similar sensations since but never again with that intensity or duration. For several days afterwards, the power of God was so strong on me that I finally had to ask God to "lead me beside the still waters." I did then experience some abatement for a time of rest, but this was the beginning of a whole new way of life and the beginning of a new relationship with Jesus that I had never known before. At the time it was impressed on my mind that I had received three prizes. The third prize was the healing of cancer; the second prize was the deliverance from spirits of fear and doubt; and the first prize was going from knowing about Jesus to knowing Jesus in a personal way as my Lord. As to speaking in tongues, Although I had had no objections to doing so, I was not actively seeking to do so. About a month later I woke up in the middle of the night and felt the power of God come over me. An inaudible voice said to me, "speak." When I did I began to speak in tongues. For a time I found myself speaking in different tongues. Now I speak in many different tongues, although I do not have the gift of interpretation of tongue.

Although medical science classifies this as a spontaneous remission, I claim it as a divine healing.[/font]

UPDATE TO MY TESTIMONY
I am now eighty-nine years old and still have not had any evidence of the return of cancer.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]However, I did have congestive heart failure several months ago that has resulted in my now taking medication. My heart is doing fine and the prognosis for my condition is over five years survival rate. The medication side-affects has caused me some unsteadiness on my feet and a lessening of manual dexterity. These are manageable so I am still able to continues teaching my class on healing. In addition, I am experiencing many blessing from the responses I am receiving from those who have visited my website. See www.howtoheal.org.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I continue to see others healed through my prayer, as well as through those who have followed our teaching on "how to heal the sick". (see "How to Heal the Sick) I have told the Lord I am more than satisfied with the lifespan he has already given me, but he says this is not my time and I am to continue in ministry several more years. My leaving this "vale of tears" will be peaceful and without trauma. Who could ask for any more than that?[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you would like to contact me, you may call me at (619) 435-7556. However, I have a hearing loss and I suggest the following:
First, email the particulars so I can be better prepared to pray for you.
Second, when you call speak up, speak clearly, and space your words.
When that is done, I usually can understand what is being said. [/font]

Got to share what happened today!

Background miracle:

My OB/GYN is an incredible man who is an ON FIRE man of God AND a doctor. He was written up several years ago by a major magazine he is such an inspirational man! To give you background, when I was miscarrying my third baby, my ex dumped me off at the hospital, this Doctor I did not KNOW came and held my hand, sat and prayed with me and stayed by me until they finally located my ex and got me picked up!!! He then became MY doctor. I can tell you this doctor knows the Great Physician and he is something! When I was in the ER praying for my baby girl, this doctor was dragging available nurses off the floor to come and join us in praying for the life of my baby daughter. We did lose our little girl but my doctor would not give up. We then discovered the fibroid tumors I had were bad and there was only one place a baby could attach to my womb. So when I thought I was pregnant we went in, yes I was, now my Doctor prayed with us in his office that the baby would attach right where he needed to, by ultrasound we found out he DID! Then, two months ahead of schedule my son was determined it was too crowded in there and he was coming out! They rushed me into the operating room for a C-section, my doctor was out of town, actually on the road! Several tense minutes passed, more time.... then suddenly I heard the other doctor say, "Nurse, I can't get this baby out, I need help, get someone in here, NOW!" I heard the fear in that doctors voice. My husband and I both were calling on Jesus! At that instant my doctor burst into the operating room, called for gown and gloves and proceeded to assist the other doctor manuver my son out from around the tumors that had surrounded him! At two months premature everyone was afraid for his health, he was only a tad over 5 lbs (he would have been well over 10 lbs at term!) God touched that child as the doctor nurses and his parents prayed for him and his liver, lungs, everything were in perfect working condition!
* end of background- see next post*

Today's story.....

I hadn't been able to see my doctor for eight years, been busy raising my little miracle!!! Today I did have an appointment with him. This week has been crazy and this morning was hectic and basically more of the same..... I got to the appointment,( I have to drive 30 miles) , I discover I have forgotten my purse! I NEVER forget my purse, never. I had only my keys with me!!! I threw my eyes up to heaven and asked the Lord to please intervene I can't take much more.... (HE must have been giggling at me, how silly I was!!!)
The sign says the doctor cannot see me without an insurance card.....OOPS in my purse!!! I had to call my dear husband to come and bring his card so that I could get seen. (hehehe, Holy Spirit you were setting me up!!!)
My hubby comes to my rescue. Hubby takes little restless boys outside for a walk. I go back, my doctor and I spend the whole examination time praising the Lord and talking about HIS goodness to us. He informs me the reason for my visit, a tumor is benign and I'm perfectly fine!!! My dear doctor then says out of the blue, "you must go see a friend of mine". He pulls out the cell phone and calls his friend. "Now you go over there right now and see him"
My dear doctors' 'friend' turns out to be the answer we have been praying for, for my husbands illness!!!!! He took one look at my husband and told him what was wrong with him without my husband saying a word!! He said, "I can help you!" (Turns out this doctor is a man of God too! Now why doesn't that surprise me....!!) None of this would have happened if I hadn't forgotten my purse which I never do!!! So when something bad happens, put it in God's hands and let Him work it out so that the enemy gets a double whammy!!! PRAISE YOU, JESUS!!! Sometimes you simply astound me and there is no words enough to thank you, Jesus!!! This is the amazing God we serve, miracles do happen and they are happening ALL around you! Hallelujah! Bless you Jesus! Blessed and Wonderful is Your Name!!!

****************************
Did God create Evil? This will make you think for a while.

At a certain college, there was a professor with a reputation for being tough on Christians. At the first class every semester, he asked if anyone was a Christian and proceeded to degrade and mock their statement of faith.

One semester, he asked the question and a young man raised his hand when asked if anyone was a Christian.

The professor asked, "Did God make everything, young man?" "Yes, he did, sir," the young man replied.

The professor responded, "If God made everything, then God made evil, and if we can only create from within ourselves, then God is evil."

The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth.

Then another man raised his hand and asked, "May I ask you something, sir?"

Yes, you may," responded the professor.

The young man stood up and said "Sir, is there such thing as cold?"

Of course there is, what kind of a question is that? Haven't you ever been cold?"

The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold does not exist. What we consider to be cold, is really only the absence of heat. Absolute zero is when there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really
exist. We have only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there."

The young man continued, "Sir, is there such thing as dark?"

Once again, the professor responded "Of course there is."

And once again, the student replied "Actually, sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a term man developed to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally, the young man asked, "Sir, is there such thing as evil?"

The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes, and murders and violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil."

The student replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as virtues like heat and light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light."

The professor had nothing to say.

I do....AMEN!!!

Cool testimonies!

Through the feeling of emptiness in life, I turn everywhere for answers to the reasons of my life. Why I live? What my purpose? There is no answer. No satisfying answer.

However, I never think of God. During the time when my pastor prayed for me to receive Jesus Christ and I pray after him, I felt this energy. My legs became feeble and could not stand. I had to kneel down. And my body was feeling such a warm energy that I was sweating. And after the prayer of acceptance of Christ into my life, I really do feel like a burden has uplifted. That Suday, I believe that I was in the presence of God. But I am not sure of it as the baptism of the Holy Spirit because I did not prophecized or speak in tongues. However after that day, my whole life changed. I knew that the new day after that day, my life is different.

I just heard this last nite from my Pastor.

A man from our church (he's in the Security Ministry) said that his mother was in ICU with some intestinal disease. She died. Her heart stopped beating.

He managed to convince the doctors to wait and see. He also managed to convince his dad and whole family to take the holy communion right there in the hospital room.

If I remember correctly, this was done on the 3rd (or 4th) day after she died.

Her heart started beating again after that. Now she's fine and at home. Praise God!

ps: will include more details when I get them.

God does raise people from the dead. Wow! Incredible!

 

[LeeS]

I wanted to give a praise report for a few weeks ago when I did not have the money to pay my electric bill. On the day the electric company was going to shut it off I received a cheque in the mail from a friend. This friend knows I am experiencing some financial stress, but they did not know details, such as what I had not been able to pay and the amounts. What they sent was the exact amount I needed to pay the bill. Thank you Jesus.

There not only is a mind (emotions)/Body connection but a mind /body/spirit connection too. Check out the book A More Excellent Way by Pastor Henry Wright of Pleasant Valley Church. He was just on TBN on a show called A NIGHT OF MIRACLES where there were two testimonies of people breaking away from fear, guilt, self hatred, unforgivessness and got healed! Yes, our thought life can get us sick. Our spirituality (if veering the wrong way) can get us sick too. One woman was healed from enviornmental illness (being allergic to the world) after getting the revelation that God loves her. A rock star witha dying heart was totally healed after confessing fear and guilt and breaking agreement with those lies in his life. I do hope they rerun the special.

Hey,

I've been watching this thread for awhile now, and I've been meaning to post a few 'testamonies' of my own, when I found the time. I have environmental illness myself, though it is leaving me as I learn to follow God more and more. A leader in my church is no longer plagued by this illness. I'll certainly get back to this thread, when I do have more time to spare, as God has been very good to me, indeed, and shown me many wonderous things in my short time with Him.

God Bless,
LastMaxim
